NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A young girl who had been missing out of Nashville for almost a week has been found safe.
Authorities said 11-year-old Genesis Howard was last seen by her family on Tuesday, Jan. 23.

According to detectives with the Metro Nashville Police Department, it was unusual for Howard to have “been gone this long.”
